Task Scheduler Services Start Error

[anon...@discussions.microsoft.com]

My Task Scheduler Service will not start. I have gone to
the Task Scheduler Properties and clcked the local user
account option. When it tries to start it says:

Could not start the Task Scheduler Service on Local
Computer

Error 1721: Not enough resources to run program

What Firewall is installed?

Look in Event Viewer at the logged errors and post them here and you may get some answers.

1. To open Event Viewer, click Start, click Control Panel, double-click Administrative Tools, double-click Event Viewer and select System for system errors or Application for application errors. Look for Error in the Type column and double click on Error to reveal a Description of the error. This can be copied by using Clipboard Viewer (see later).

2. Part of the Description of the error will include a link, which you should double click for further information and you can copy using copy and paste.
http://go.microsoft.com/fw.link/events.asp
(Please note the hyperlink above is for illustration purposes only)

3. For some errors you will find "+ Related Knowledge Base Article", which if double clicked takes you to the Knowledge Base Article containing a suggested solution.

There always seems to be a step 2 but not always a step 3.

A tip for posting copies of Error Reports (Step 1). Run Event Viewer and double click on the error you want to copy. In the window which appears is a button resembling two pages. Double click the button and close Event Viewer. Now start your message ( email )and do a paste into the body of the message. This will paste the info from the Event Viewer Error Report complete with links into the message. Make sure this is the first paste after exiting from Event Viewer. It can be helpful to place a shortcut to Event Viewer on your Desktop.

I run Norton Internet Security 2004 and use a LinkSys
WRT54G router.

Logged Errors:
When I try to start the Task Scheduler service I receive
the following error.....Could not start the Task SCheduler
service on Local Computer - Error 1721: Not enough
resources are available to complete this operation.

When I follow your suggestion, I get the following
additional information from the System Error tree (no
Application errors were logged for this) - this is from
the clipboard copy...

"
Event Type: Error

Event Category: None
Event ID: 7023
Date: 1/6/2004

Description:
The Task Scheduler service terminated with the following

While there was "+ Related Knowledge Base Article", it did
not seem to apply to my situation (but what do I know?).

Any additional thoughts would be great! Thanks.

Try updating your virus definitions and running a full virus scan.

Also download Adaware from http://www.lavasoftusa.com/support/download/ and use it to remove parasites.

This free utility keeps my machine clean but there are other utilities which can pick up some Adaware does not find. Please let us know the outcome.

Hope this helps.

I tried the software you suggested and reran some SysBot
scans - a couple very minor fixes, but nothing big (mostly
cookies and stuff of that nature).

I run full virus scans regularly (Norton AntiVirus). I did
so again. No problems were detected.

I had a weird problem a few months back where after
uninstalling some drivers and configuration utilities for
a wireless network card, all of a sudden, my Windows
Wireless Zero Configuration was gone. After doing some
research on the forum, someone suggested a simple change
to a setting in the registry. I did so and it fixed it. I
am not saying I think this is related to that specific
uninstall, but it seems like this is a similar type of
problem where an install, MS patch, or uninstall probably
messed up the configuration and I am guess there has to be
a simple Windows configuration change (re-registering some
DLLs, a Registry change, or something of the like) that
would help. Not sure though. I could be way off base.

Anyway, I am still without a fix so I am open to any
suggestions.

Thanks for your time so far!

Yes. Software - Norton Internet Security 2004 (with Norton
Firewall). Hardware - I have a LinkSys WRT54G wireless
router, which I believe also has some basic firewall
settings, though I just got it and haven't had time to go
in and look at it and tweak it.
